Report Cards in Skyward
- In an effort to "Go Green", we will not print Report Cards each grading period. Grades are always current and live in Skyward, and we will send notifications of when the Report Card Grades are final each grading period.
- Report Card Grades for the 1st grading period are posted in Skyward.
- Your child's report card grades for this grading period were recorded in his/her planner. Please sign the Planner verifying you acknowledged your child's report card grades.
- At any time, you can always contact your child's teacher(s) if you have questions or concerns about your child's grades.
TOGO Trust Cards
This year, we are creating a culture of trust, respect and responsibility. This week, students will be given a Trust Card (referred to as a TOGO Card) that the students will wear around their neck like ID cards every day. It is the responsibility of the students to remember their TOGO Cards each day.
TOGO Cards are designed to be a cooperative behavior management tool between your child and staff. TOGO Card behavior management involves Icenhower staff trusting our students to make the right choices during the school day. With that trust, campus-wide along with classroom and team privileges are given (see sheet below). Once a student has broken the trust bond with a staff member, several things must happen in order to rebuild that bond.
Friendly Reminder about Students Arriving Before 8:00 AM
Several students are arriving VERY early each morning, and they are causing disruptions in front of the school. They are bringing outside balls and play equipment that is NOT allowed.
Icenhower staff begins their duty day at 8:00 AM. Students who are dropped off before 8:00 AM will not be supervised.
The school day ends at 4:00 PM. Please make sure your student is picked up in a timely manner.

Arrival and Dismissal Procedures
Please follow the arrival and dismissal procedures. Parent drop off and pick up is in the FRONT this year, and these procedures MUST be followed to ensure the safety of our students and staff. Everything will go much smoother if everyone follows the correct procedures! Dropping your child off on Collins and/or in the drive to the front is NOT safe!!!!
Students arriving prior to 8:00am are outside and unsupervised until 8:00am. At 8:00am, students enter the building and report to the gym or to the cafeteria for breakfast. The tardy bell rings at 8:30. Students not in class at this time will report to the office and sign-in as “tardy to school.”

This is ME!
This is ME!
"But I won’t let them break me down to dust
I know that there’s a place for us (…)
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I’m meant to be, this is me!"
